Violence broke out at the Jawaharlal Nehru University campus on Sunday when a group, alleged to be from the ABVP, pelted stones at students who were protesting the fee hike.

As many as 10-15 students were injured in the violence, including JNU students union president Aishe Ghosh and secretary Satish Chandra Yadav. Around 15 of the injured have been taken to AIIMS.

Vidoes emerged showing masked men with iron rods and sticks inciting violence. A video showed Ghosh bleeding from the head. It was also alleged that several teachers were beaten up during the rampage.

'ABVP has been attacking students who are peacefully protesting the fee hike. Yesterday, a mob led by a councillor from SIS, which belongs to ABVP, attacked students. They also attacked Aishe, Satish and other students. Dripta, a 1st year MA student broke her leg in violence. Today, they again attacked students. It's clear that JNU VC is not only shielding but even instigating violence through ABVP,' N. Sai Balaji, former JNUSU president wrote in a group of JNU for media.

Teachers, including JNU teachers association secretary Avinash Kumar, said they were hiding from the attackers inside the campus and made a plea to the media to reach Vasant Kunj police station.

The varsity administration was not available for comments during the violence.

A screenshot of a WhatsApp group named 'Friends of RSS' was also circulated on one of the JNU groups-- aunthenticity of which could not be verified, that displayed conversation among members indicating a planned attack against the protesting students.

Swaraj Abhiyan founder Yogendra Yadav, who was at the JNU entrance, told a television news channel that police were bystanders to the whole fiasco and were not allowing any one to enter the campus.

'This is an urgent message for the entire JNU Community that there is a law and order situation in the JNU Campus. Masked miscreants armed with sticks are roaming around, damaging property and attacking people. The JNU Administration has called the police to maintain order. This is the moment to remain calm and be on the alert. In view of the largeness of the campus, number 100 can also be dialled. Efforts are already being made to tackle the miscreants,' the university said in its statement.

Students and people gathered at the police headquarters at night to protest and demanded action against the attackers.

About 500 people, including students, faculty and other working professionals raised slogans.

'I am here after seeing the videos on social media. This is really terrible. One of my friends is at JNU and told me how people from the right wing are waiting outside the gates. This shouldn't happen,' Rudraksh, a video game developer, told the Telegraph Online outside the police headquarters.

Another protester, an academic, said he was there to demand action against the culprits for' a coordinated attack' against the JNU students.

'We saw what happened in JNU. This was a coordinated attack by the RSS and ABVP against the students of JNU, even the girls were attacked. We demand action from the police against the culprits,' Bhupendra Chaudhary, a professor from the Delhi University's department of history, said.

In a tweet, the HRD Ministry also condemned the violence without naming any group.

'It has come to Ministry's notice that a group of masked people entered the JNU campus today, threw stones, damaged property and attacked students. This is very unfortunate and highly condemnable, such acts of violence and anarchy will not be tolerated,' the ministry tweeted.

The Telegraph spoke to one of the JNU students trapped inside the Sabarmati hostel. He had locked the room when he first heard the mob shouting outside. It was around 7 pm that he started hearing a group breaking things inside the hostel.

“They came banging and breaking everything. They broke the glass ventilation above my room’s door. They didn’t enter my room but they broke down the door of one of my neighbours, who are Muslims. I don't know if they were targeted because they are Muslims,” said the student who didn’t wish to be named.

According to him, one of them jumped out of the balcony onto the first floor, and the other roommate climbed to a friend’s room to escape the violent mob.

“I could only hear them shouting that ‘keep hitting the door, it’ll break’. It was very traumatizing. I hid in my room away from the broken glasses and where stones wouldn’t reach,” he said.

In one of the photos shared with us, it is visible that fire extinguisher and a rectangular flower pot was thrown inside the room of the Muslim students. In another photo, the entrance gate of the hostel is visibly broken.

The student moved out of the hostel after about half an hour when the vandalism stopped. He was still inside JNU when this website spoke to him. On his way out, he saw police moving about in groups, possibly the flag march that the Delhi police said it conducted inside the campus.
